Oh So Beautiful Paper

Kraft paper and white ink is such a fabulous combination – perfect for a variety of design styles from modern to rustic.  Designer Rachael Ward decided to combine kraft paper, white ink screen printing, and fabric for her woodland wedding invitations.  So pretty!

From Rachael: As a graphic designer and crafter, I knew I wanted to design something that incorporated fabric and gave our guests a peek into our wedding style.  Inspiration came mostly from the location of the wedding, Krippendorf Lodge located within the Cincinnati Nature Center at Rowe Woods.

The overall wedding theme was a combination of vintage and woodland styles.  The color palette was loosely based on robins egg blue, blush pink, ivory, and brown.  The invitations were screen printed using white ink on French Paper‘s 100 lb Speckletone Cover in Kraft.  Then they were wrapped with either a blue or pink floral fabric from Joann Fabric to match the color palette.  A reply card was tied around each card with a coordinating ribbon.

These romantic, vintage, and woodsy invites were perfect for our small wedding.  The combination of paper and fabric made quite an impact on our guests!
